“What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly.

—Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)
“The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
